If you work in the beauty industry, you know how essential it is to have an authorized cosmetology license. Without a professional license, you could lose your ability to work in the beauty sector entirely, thus rendering your years of experience and hard work almost entirely worthless.
At The Umansky Law Firm, we have an impressive reputation for helping professionals keep their livelihoods and reputations intact. By securing us to represent your interests, we can help you defend your right to continue working as a respectable, accredited cosmetologist in Orlando.
Cosmetologists and makeup artists licensed in Florida could be subject to disciplinary action for failing to disclose a conviction or plea. The Umansky Law Firm license defense attorneys provide legal defense for cosmetologists and makeup artists for any type of criminal offense they may be facing, such as:
Any actions a cosmetologist performs while practicing that could potentially risk the safety of the public can result in disciplinary action and possibly revocation of their professional license.
Cosmetology is defined under Florida Statute 477.013(4) as:
“The mechanical or chemical treatment of the head, face, and scalp for aesthetic rather than medical purposes, including, but not limited to, hair shampooing, hair cutting, hair arranging, hair coloring, permanent waving, and hair relaxing for compensation. This term also includes performing hair removal, including wax treatments, manicures, pedicures, and skin care services.”
This Statute means that any of the following professionals can be considered cosmetologists, rendering them liable to license revocation or suspension if they fail to report a conviction or plea:
The Board of Cosmetology oversees all cosmetology licensing and enforcement in the state of Florida. The state cosmetology board is overseen by the Department of Business and Professional Regulations (DBPR). It ensures that cosmetologists and makeup artists comply with the regulations outlined in Florida Statute Chapter 477.
A criminal charge can affect the rest of your life no matter your profession, but if you do not report a criminal conviction or plea to the DBPR or your employer as a cosmetologist, you could be putting your source of income at risk.
The penalties you could face as a makeup artist or cosmetologist who fails to disclose a conviction or plea will depend on the severity of the offense and the offense’s level of risk to the public.
